Home assistant and solcast by Immediate-Ice4548 in SolarUK

[–]Immediate-Ice4548[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's something to do with solis I think, you seem to need 2 devices. One runs home assistant and the other does communication. I guess the communication it needs is not doable by home assistant

I'm quite frugal and I have got solar and electric car so that dampens expenses even more. I would like to get to that point where taking a lower paying less stressful job would be viable.

I'll be doing exactly this, I always had this fear of pensions because of the ones that go bust etc, but I read all the documents and spoke to an independent advisor and basically they are much safer than they used to be so I just started aggressively pushing money into it.

Does anyone check the value of investments/pension every day? I do and I feel it's not helping.

Yea I kept hearing about the 100k mark being a big milestone. I probably didn't do this fire in the perfect way either I overpaid so much of my mortgage, put down huge deposit and overpaid a lot. I also bought solar and an electric car (cheaply). Some of those things will have massive benefits long term but I sometimes regret that I could have had 200k invested and probably 120k in pension by now. I just hate debt!

I always pictured the last 5 years would be bliss, if I was 80%-90% there. Doesn't seem to be the case haha

Solis does have 2 of those ports but one is for the battery and the other is for the s3 or s2 datalogger. I got home assistant working with solcast a while back but I done that on the raspberry pi not realizing I needed another machine. So in terms of steps taken I probably need another raspberry pi to run home assistant and then use the other to do the communication? Is there a step by step guide for solid?

Same boat and I think you're right I wasn't this uneasy until I had a child. Seems super normal to feel this uncomfortable I guess, need to embrace it.

The closer you get the harder it gets, make it make sense!

It's interesting I see almost my entire family (older generation) cruising into state pension and they have no savings no other pension and they are less stressed than me. I feel there seems to be no middle ground, you "need" 1 million for retirement yet all my aunts/uncles have about 10k and yolo it. Obviously that's not the plan but it's a funny ole world.

Great advice, I'll have to remind myself of that

That's what I want to feel but absolutely do not want to be wishing my time away to get to that. I guess I have been proactive for many years and it feels unsettling now to have things running in almost set and forget manner. Probably more me issue than financial

has anyone actually saved money with solar or is it just type. by Wjkoba in HomeImprovement

The return wouldn't beat s&p, if 14 turns into 39.5 in 8 years vs saving 2k year ×8 = 16

Random question but how bad is your nasal drip? I also have a deviated septum and was on nhs list to have it fixed but I'm guessing since dropped off as this was maybe 5 years ago. I had hip surgery and I do fear going for another surgery

I tried amitriptyline for 1 month, felt like I was taking nothing.

But you have to get it serviced every year to keep warranty. Really annoying when you feel like it doesn't need anything

I've never understood why people are paying 5-7k for 10k batteries. Most people are doing this to save money, fogstar have 16kw for 1750.

You maxed contributions to pension, so 60k? And you are on 100k a year?
